Brilliant trip on the Douro with Susana and Sergio - Susana and her husband Sergio looked after us perfectly on a 2 hour Douro River trip, with lovely snacks and drinks. The boat we went on is brand new and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend Susana and Sergio!!!

I highly recommend this Porto tour. - What a luxury to have a private tour of the Douro River. Susana and her husband are amazing. Very kind and hospitable and Susana's knowledge is interesting. Snacks and drinks, beautiful boat, great company and the perfect sunset. What more can you ask for.

Loved it! - What better way to see some of the sites in the area than by boat! The boat is new, comfortable and well appointed. Our guides were amazing. Lots of shared information about the history of the area. Relaxed and professional. Pleasant music in the background along with refreshments and nibbles. We highly recommended this tour to others. Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon And for catering for my no gluten requirements. We really enjoyed meeting you both and we wish you all the best for the future. Take care

A Mariners View of Porto - Susana our host was excellent, she communicated the meeting place well in advance. Her knowledge of the local landmarks was excellent and her commentary was delivered in a warm and welcoming manner. The skipper was great trying to avoid the wash of other larger vessels on the river. He also slowed down when he knew we were trying to get a steady photo. The cheese and fresh strawberries was a great touch served with a local rose and of course port. I highly recommend this tour if you want to avoid the masses and experience a great couple of hours on the water.

The perfect afternoon - My daughter and I loved our private 6 Bridges River Tour! Susanna and Sergio were perfect hosts. It felt like luxury compared to the very full boats going by us. We could sit under the shade on our way out and hear clearly as Susanna explained the history of not just the bridges but any sites we had questions about. Then we were able to relax on the front of the boat as Sergio calmly drove the boat back to the marina. We would defiantly recommend this tour!!

Leisurely boat trip up the river with great hosts - Suzanna & Sergio were very welcoming into their gorgeous new boat. We went as far as the river harbor entrance and meandered back under the bridges amidst the tourist boats. Suzanna shared architectural and historical bits about the buildings, bridges and Porto & surrounding towns; sharing a natives knowledge and perspective. Would very highly recommend!

Private and personalized Porto six bridges boat tour - Look no further, book this Douro River and Six Bridges boat tour with SS Amazing Douro. Captains Serge and Susana provide personal and VIP-level service on their private boat. You will know you have picked the best tour when you see other boats packed with people and you have champagne in your hand, a fruit and cheese plate in front of you, and very friendly conversation with the captains. We did three tours in Porto and this was hands down our favorite! They are locals and care very much about providing a special and personalized experience.

What a fabulous Tour!!!!!. - I took this tour with my parents and it was simply fabulous. The boat is completely new, super comfortable and spacious. Captain Sérgio sailed calmly and you can see that he has a lot of experience. Susana is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the city, she told a lot about the history and people of Porto. They served a snack and the wine was excellent. I really recommend it!!!!
